The concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere has been increasing
since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Nitrous oxide (N2O) is one of the mightiest …

Environmental problems related to the use of synthetic fertilizers and to organic waste
management have led to increased interest in the use of organic materials as an alternative …

The influence of biochar on nitrogen (N) transformation processes in soil is not fully
understood. This study assessed the influence of four biochars (wood and poultry manure …

The rewetting of dry soils and the thawing of frozen soils are short-term, transitional
phenomena in terms of hydrology and the thermodynamics of soil systems. The impact of …

Few studies have considered the effect of organic amendments on soil microbial activity and
its contributions to hydraulic conductivity under field conditions in semiarid region soils with …

Global warming is one of the gravest threats to crop production and environmental
sustainability. Rice, the staple food of more than half of the world's population, is the most …

Irrigation has a critical role for crop production worldwide. In particular, irrigation is a major
issue due to the growing food demand and climate change. Irrigation affects yields and the …

Biochars produced by slow pyrolysis of greenwaste (GW), poultry litter (PL), papermill waste
(PS), and biosolids (BS) were shown to reduce N2O emissions from an acidic Ferrosol …

Nitrous oxide, N2O, is the third most important of the long‐lived greenhouse gases, in terms
of its contribution to global warming, and is expected to be the dominant cause of …

Altered drying-rewetting patterns due to climate change may affect soil nitrogen (N) and
phosphorus (P) cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. The responses of soil N and P cycling to …
